--- Why? ---------------------------------------
There are already several databases affecting
Spectrum and entirely dedicated to it, but not a single one
of which does not sufficiently cover all
what has been done on the Spectrum in recent years
9-1o years. World Of Spectrum is focused first
total for branded games, the production of which
almost ended in 199, Demotopia
although voluminous, it contains quite meager
information about the products presented, except
Moreover, it is initially focused on .tAP
format, zpixel is focused exclusively on
graphics. of the three listed only WOS
has search options, but they are practically
no use if we are interested in the scene. What
remains? Pouet? Yes, this is a good resourcehe
provides more detailed information than
Demotopia, search is implemented on it, but on the face and
disadvantages - paying attention to everyone at once
platforms Pouet thereby deprives each of
these platforms. Another disadvantage of Pouet is the stop
made for products, parties, groups. behind everything
this is where people get lost, specific authors: coders,
artists, musicians... u to all this
Spectrum is currently presented at Pouet
quite meager.
--- Conclusion! --------------------------------
thus, we can say that none of
There are no existing information internet projects
provides us with enough information about the scene
zx Spectrum.
--- therefore: ---------------------------------
This project did not appear by chance.
Create a database that would cover all
the zx Spectrum scene has been undertaken more than once by those
or other people. but, as far as we know, neither
one of them was never successful. More likelythis happened because these projects
were originally based on the Spectrum and were
obviously offline. so the idea arose
create an online database updated via the Internet.
Such a base has many advantages - it
filling will not depend entirely on her
creators and the current version of the database will be available
always and to everyone.
--- how? ---------------------------------------
This project arose primarily thanks to
the fact that similar ideas appeared immediately
several people, almost at the same time.
looker^nS came up with the idea of making a similar database in
as part of his netSpec project, Boh^Image created
offline database fileBase, and Diver^chD started
designing a base that covers the entire scene is only
only dreaming of making it online.
--- When? --------------------------------------
Having joined forces in October'2oo2,
Boh^Image (as a programmer and developer) and
Diver^hD (as developer) designed
structure of the future base.--- Right way! ---------------------------------
Having reached version o.8 of the structure, we
We were surprised to find that such a database had already

noname.сbч.org/csdb. The most amazing thing
was that CSDb is practically
completely coincided with our project, but this
did not upset us at all, but only convinced us that we
on the right track. In general, it’s high time to catch up
commodores, because they have long created high
Voltage SID Collection, theGallery, CSDb,
rewrote almost all of their artists,
programmers and musicians who participated in
creating branded games, and everything that is for
Spectrum is WOS, Project AY and zpixel. not
After thinking for a long time, we borrowed the advantages of CSDb,
fortunately there were very few of them compared to
already developed structure.
